          Investment in BBC                  $  80,090        72,185
                                             =========      ========

At June 30, 1998, the Company owned 6,578,671 shares of BBC Class A Common Stock
and  4,876,124  shares of BBC Class B Common  Stock  representing  31.83% of all
outstanding BBC common stock.  At June 30, 1998, the Company's  ownership of BBC
Class A and B common  stock was  approximately  26% and 47%,  respectively.  The
aggregate  market value of the Company's  investment in BBC at June 30, 1998 was
approximately  $140.5  million or  approximately  $60.4 million in excess of the
carrying value in the financial statements.

On June 30, 1998 BBC acquired  Ryan,  Beck & Co., Inc.  ("RBCO"),  an investment
firm that is principally  engaged in the underwriting,  distribution and trading
of tax-exempt obligations and bank and thrift equity and debt securities. During
the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  BBC  issued  2,863,367  shares of Class A
common stock to acquire RBCO. Upon  acquisition of RBCO, BBC assumed all options
outstanding under RBCO's existing stock option plans,  resulting in the issuance
of  options  to  purchase  314,145  shares  of Class A common  stock at  various
exercise prices based upon the exercise prices of the assumed options.  The RBCO
acquisition  agreement  provided  for  the  establishment  of an  incentive  and
retention  pool,  under which shares of BBC's Class A common stock  representing
20% of the total  transaction value were allocated to key employees of RBCO. The
retention  pool consists of 683,362  shares of restricted  Class A common stock,
which will vest in four years to employees who remain for the period. As of June
30, 1998,  BFC's  ownership  percentage  of BBC  excluded the 683,362  shares of
restricted Class A common stock.

On March 20, 1998,  BBC acquired  Leasing  Technology  Inc.  ("LTI"),  a company
engaged in the equipment leasing and finance business. BBC issued 718,413 shares
of Class A common stock to acquire LTI. Upon  regulatory  approval,  on June 30,
1998, BBC transferred LTI to BankAtlantic at BBC's cost.

Pursuant to previously  announced  plans by BBC to purchase shares of its common
stock,  during the six months  ended June 30,  1998,  BBC paid $10.6  million to
repurchase and retire 738,500 shares of Class B common stock.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998,  BBC issued 505,793 shares of Class A
common stock upon the conversion of $3.3 million in principal  amount of BBC's 6
3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2006.

5. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

Included in  subordinated  debentures at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was
approximately  $5.4 million and $5.5 million,  respectively,  of debentures that
have been called. Such debentures do not bear interest. Included in other assets
at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was  approximately  $2.8 million and $5.0
million held in escrow accounts related to a portion of these called debentures.
In January 2000, any amounts remaining in escrow will be released to the Company
and after that date any payments on called  debentures  will be paid directly by
the Company.

6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued FASB
Statement No. 130 ("FAS 130") "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income".  The statement
became effective for the Company on January 1, 1998 with the reclassification of
earlier period  financial  statements for  comparative  purposes.  Comprehensive
income is the change in equity of a  business  enterprise  during a period  from
transactions and other events and circumstances  from nonowner sources.  Some of
the items included in other comprehensive  income are unrealized gains or losses
on securities  available for sale,  foreign currency  translations,  underfunded
pension  obligations  and  employee  stock  options.  Implementation  of FAS 130
required additional  disclosure in the Company's financial statements but had no
impact on the  Company's  Statement  of  Financial  Condition  or  Statement  of
Operations.

Interest and  dividends on  securities  available  for sale and escrow  accounts
decreased  for the six and three month  periods ended June 30, 1998, as compared
with the same period in 1997 primarily due to decreases in investable funds.

Earnings on real estate rental  operations,  net decreased for the six and three
month  periods  ended June 30,  1998,  as  compared  to the same  period in 1997
primarily  due  to an  increase  in  landscaping  maintenance  and  repairs  and
maintenance.

During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the Company sold  approximately  18
acres  of  the  Center  Port   property  to   unaffiliated   third  parties  for
approximately  $3.4 million and the company  recognized a net gain from the sale
of real estate of  approximately  $1.0 million.  In 1996, the Company sold a 50%
interest in a property included in investment real estate. Since the Company was
the  maker on the  non-recourse  mortgage  note on the  property  and  since the
Company maintained a 50% interest in the subject property,  the gain on the sale
of  approximately  $0.6 million was deferred.  During the quarter ended June 30,
1998, 50% of the deferred  profit of  approximately  $0.3 million was recognized
upon  refinancing  the property's  mortgage note. The remaining  deferred profit
will be recognized when the remaining interest in the property is sold.

In February  1997,  the Company sold 12.7 acres of land  located in  Birmingham,
Alabama to an unaffiliated third party for approximately $149,000 and a net gain
on the sale of approximately $131,000 was recognized during the six months ended
June 30, 1997.

In June 1997 and January 1997,  the Company sold 449,805 shares of BBC's Class A
common stock.  Net proceeds  received from these sales amounted to approximately
$3.7 million and a net gain of approximately  $1.3 million was recognized during
the six month period ended June 30, 1997.  Net proceeds  received  from the June
1997 sale amounted to approximately $2.8 million and a net gain of approximately
$1.1 million was recognized during the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

BBC's net income  applicable to common  shareholders for the six and three month
periods ended June 30, 1998 was $11.6  million and $6.4  million,  respectively,
compared to net income of $13.2  million and $6.8  million for the six and three
month periods ended June 30, 1997,  respectively.  The Company's equity in BBC's
net  income for the six and three  month  periods  ended June 30,  1998 was $4.5
million and $2.4 million,  respectively,  compared to net income of $5.8 million
and $3.0  million  for the six and three  month  periods  ended  June 30,  1997,
respectively. The decrease in equity in earnings of BBC was due to a decrease in
earnings by BBC and the  Company's  decreased  ownership  percentage in BBC. The
Company's  ownership  in BBC at June 30,  1998 and 1997 was 31.83%  and  40.78%,
respectively, of all outstanding BBC common stock. The decrease in ownership was
attributable  to BBC's issuance of Class A common stock in a public  offering on
November  25, 1997,  BBC's  issuance of Class A common stock to acquire RBCO and
LTI and the sale of  shares of BBC Class A common  stock by the  Company  during
1997. This decrease was partially offset by changes in BBC's outstanding  common
stock  primarily due to BBC's  repurchases of its shares.  At June 30, 1998, the
Company's  ownership of BBC Class A and B common stock was approximately 26% and
47%, respectively.

Other income decreased for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the
same period in 1997  primarily due to proceeds  received  during the 1997 period
relating to a loan from an affiliate which was written-off in prior years.

Increases (decreases) in expenses for the six and three month periods ended June
30,  1998,  as  compared to the  comparable  periods in 1997 were as follows (in

Interest  on  subordinated  debentures  decreased  for the six and  three  month
periods  ended June 30, 1998 as compared to the same periods in 1997 as a result
of the  accrual  of  interest  during  1997 on the  delayed  funding of the 1989
Exchange  settlement  liability and the  reduction in the amount  payable on the
subordinated debentures.

Interest on mortgage  payables and other borrowings  decreased for six and three
month  periods  ended  June 30,  1998 as  compared  to the same  periods in 1997
primarily due to reduction in borrowings.

Expenses related to real estate held for development and sale, net decreased for
the six and three  month  periods  ended June 30,  1998 as  compared to the same
periods in 1997 primarily due to decreased property taxes and professional fees.
This decrease was offset in part by an increase in administrative expenses.

In June 1998,  the Company  reduced its carrying  value on an  investment  in an
affiliated partnership by $184,000.

Employee  compensation and benefits  decreased for the six months ended June 30,
1998 as compared to the same period in 1997  primarily due to bonus  accruals in
1997.

In  connection  with the Short vs.  Eden,  et al.  litigation,  the  Company  at
December 31, 1996 had an accrual of approximately $3.0 million included in other
liabilities.  The Company in April 1997  disbursed  approximately  $783,000  and
received a release and  satisfaction  of judgment.  Accordingly,  the  remaining
accrual of approximately $2.3 million was reversed during the quarter ended June
30, 1997.

General and  administrative,  net  decreased for the six and three month periods
ended June 30,  1998 as compared to the same  periods in 1997  primarily  due to
decreased legal fees, trustee fees and amortization  expense.  This decrease was
offset with an increase in intangible taxes.

Financial Condition

BFC's total assets at June 30, 1998 and at December 31, 1997 were $100.1 million
and $98.9 million, respectively. The majority of the difference at June 30, 1998
as compared to December  31, 1997 was due to an increase in  investment  in BBC.
This increase was offset with  decreases in (i)  securities  available for sale,
(ii) real estate held for  development  and sale,  net,  (iii)  investment  real
estate and (iv) other assets.

Securities  available  for sale  decreased  primarily  due to the  advances  for
development and construction  costs at the Company's Center Port property.  This
decrease in  securities  available  for sale was offset by the  availability  of
funds provided from the release of the Meador (1989 Exchange) settlement escrow.

Real estate held for  development  and sale, net decreased  primarily due to the
sale of 18 acres of the Company's Center Port property to an unaffiliated  third
party.  This  decrease  in real estate held for  development  and sale,  net was
offset with an increase in advances for development and construction costs.

The  Company in 1996 sold a 50%  interest in a property  included in  investment
real estate.  Since the Company was the maker on the non-recourse  mortgage note
on the property,  the investment  real estate and mortgage note were not removed
from the financial statements. In May 1998, the mortgage note was refinanced and
the Company is no longer the sole maker on the non-recourse mortgage note on the
property.  Therefore,  the mortgage and investment  real estate was removed from
the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition in 1998.

Investment  in BBC increased by $7.9 million due to equity in earnings of BBC of
approximately $4.5 million and the net effect of other BBC capital  transactions
of approximately $4.0 million.  This increase was offset in part by dividends of
approximately $0.6 million in 1998.

Other  assets  decreased  due to the release from escrow of  approximately  $2.1
million  that had  been  placed  in an  escrow  account  related  to the  Meador
litigation  settlement  and payments  made in  accordance  with the terms of the
Exchange litigation settlements. The settlement agreement provided for a release
from  escrow of any  balances  remaining  at the end of a  specified  period and
accordingly,  approximately  $2.1  million was  released  from escrow in January
1998. Any balances remaining in the escrow accounts under litigation settlements
will be released to the Company in January 2000.

Market Risk

Market  risk is  defined as the risk of loss  arising  from  adverse  changes in
market valuation which arise from interest rate risk,  foreign currency exchange
rate risk,  commodity  price risk and equity price risk.  The Company's  primary
market risk is equity risk through its investment in BBC.

Equity Pricing Risk

The Company's  primary equity investment is its investment in BBC and while that
investment  is carried  using the equity  method of  accounting  and  changes in
market  price of BBC  stock  would  not have a direct  impact  on the  financial
statements,  a change  in  market  price  would  probably  have an impact on the
investment community's view of the Company. This investment was entered into for
purposes other than trading  purposes.  The following table shows changes in the
market  value  of the  Company's  investment  in BBC at June 30,  1998  based on
percentage changes in market price. Actual future price changes may be different
from the changes identified in the table below (in thousands):

                            Percent

                           (20.00)%             112,390

Management does not believe that market risk on other equity  instruments  would
have a significant impact on the financial condition of the Company.

Below is an  analysis  of  BBC's  equity  pricing  risk at June  30,  1998.  The
following  table  measures  changes  in the  fair  value of  BBC's  trading  and
available for sale  securities  at June 30, 1998 based on percentage  changes in
fair value.

Interest Rate Risk

The majority of BBC's assets and liabilities  are monetary in nature  subjecting
BBC to  significant  interest rate risk.  BBC has developed a model using vendor
software  to  quantify  its  interest  rate risk.  A  sensitivity  analysis  was
performed  measuring  BBC's  potential  gains and losses in net  portfolio  fair
values of interest rate  sensitive  instruments  at June 30, 1998 resulting from
change in interest  rates.  The model  calculates  the net  potential  gains and
losses in net portfolio fair value by : (i) discounting cash flows from existing
assets,  liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts to determine fair values at
June 30,  1998,  and (ii)  discounting  the above  expected  cash flows based on
instantaneous and parallel shifts in the yield curve to determine fair values at
June 30, 1998. The difference  between the fair value calculated in (i) and (ii)
is the potential gains and losses in net portfolio fair values. BBC's management
has  made  estimates  of  fair  value  discount  rates  that it  believes  to be
reasonable.  However,  because  there  is no  quoted  market  for  many of these
financial  instruments,  BBC's management has no basis to determine  whether the
fair value  presented  would be indicative of the value  negotiated in an actual
sale.  BanAtlantic's  fair value  estimates  do not consider the tax effect that
would be associated  with the  disposition of the assets or liabilities at their
fair value estimates.

Below is an analysis of BBC's  interest rate risk at June 30, 1998 as calculated
utilizing  BBC's model.  The table measures  changes in net portfolio  value for
instantaneous  and  parallel  shifts  in the  yield  curve  in 100  basis  point
increments up or down (dollars in thousands).

                Changes           Net Portfolio           Dollar
                in Rate           Value Amount            Change
                -------           ------------            ------
               +200  bp            $302,912            $ (74,551)
               +100  bp             351,677              (25,786)
                  0  bp             377,463                    0
               (100) bp             328,873              (48,590)
               (200) bp             259,070             (118,393)

Certain  assumptions by BBC in assessing the interest rate risk were utilized in
preparing the preceding table.  These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan
prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and market values of certain assets under
various interest rate scenarios. It was also assumed that delinquency rates will
not  change as a result of  changes  in  interest  rates  although  there can no
assurance  that this  will be the case.  Even if  interest  rates  change in the
designated  increments,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  BBC's  assets  and
liabilities would perform as indicated in the table above. In addition, a change
in U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts, accompanied by a change in the
shape of the yield curve could cause significantly different changes to the fair
values than indicated above. Furthermore,  the result of the calculations in the
preceding table are subject to significant  deviations  based upon actual future
events,  including  anticipatory and reactive measures which BBC may take in the
future.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Pursuant to terms of escrow  agreements,  during January 1998 approximately $3.0
million  was  released  from  escrow  accounts  established  to fund  payment on
subordinated  debentures that had been called.  At June 30, 1998,  approximately
$2.8 million remained to fund future payments.  Any amounts  remaining in escrow
in January  2000 will be released to the Company and any future  payments on the
called debentures will be paid from the Company's  working capital.  At June 30,
1998, there was approximately $5.4 million of called but unpresented debentures.

The Company is not  obligated to pay interest on  subordinated  debentures  once
they are called. Pursuant to the terms of the debentures,  the Company may elect
to defer interest  payments on its subordinated  debentures if management of the
Company  determines in its discretion  that the payment of interest would impair
the  operations  of the Company.  Items  considered in the decision to defer the
interest payment would include, among other items, the ability to identify which
debentures  are held by Holders in Due Course and  current  operating  expenses.
Since  December 31,  1991,  the Company has  deferred  interest  payments on its
subordinated debentures.

As previously  indicated,  the Company holds  approximately  31.83% of all BBC's
outstanding common stock.  Presently,  BBC has paid a regular quarterly dividend
since its  formation  and  management  of BBC has  indicated  that it  currently
anticipates  that it will pay regular  quarterly  cash  dividends  on its common
stock.  The Company's cash position and its ability to meet its obligations will
in part be dependent on the financial condition of BBC and the payment by BBC of
dividends to its shareholders, including the Company.

At June 30, 1998,  BankAtlantic's  core, Tier 1 risk-based and total  risk-based
capital  ratios were  9.27%,  13.94% and  15.18%,  respectively.  Based on these
capital  ratios,   BankAtlantic  meets  the  definition  of  a  well-capitalized
institution.

Cash Flows

A summary of the Company's consolidated cash flows is as follows (in thousands):

                                                           Six months ended

The primary  sources of funds to the  Company for the six months  ended June 30,
1998 are  release of funds from escrow  accounts,  principal  reduction  on loan
receivables, proceeds from redemption and maturities of securities available for
sale,  revenues from property  operations,  and dividends  from BBC. These funds
were primarily  utilized to reduce mortgage  payables and other  borrowings,  to
fund development and construction costs at the Center Port property, to purchase
securities  available for sale, and to fund  operating  expenses and general and
administrative  expenses.  Funds  received  from  the sale of real  estate  were
utilized to reduce related mortgage debt.
